Researchers find that altered Homer1 gene signaling quiets brain activity and improves attention in mice, raising new ...

An extra copy of a gene that controls synapse formation in the cortex causes excessive inhibitory signaling and may contribute to Down syndrome, according to a new study publishing April 20 th in the ...

Researchers from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have found a mechanism for why a subset of patients’ tumors grow, rather than shrink, when faced with immunotherapy. Immunotherapy has ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly ...

Insulin resistance plays a role in many diseases. The new research provides insights into why insulin resistance appears to be associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Corresponding author Kai ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report that a rare gene mutation that delays Alzheimer’s disease does so by damping inflammatory signaling in brain-resident immune cells in a preclinical study.

Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

Biomarkers, molecules found in blood or other biological tissues that signal a condition, disease, or process, are very valuable in helping doctors recommend the most effective treatment for a patient ...

The JAK2 gene is a protein-coding gene of the Janus kinase family. It plays a role in cellular signaling. Evidence notes connections between this gene and some medical conditions. Variations in this ...

Linking nanoparticles to antibodies that stick to a heat-sensitive channel in the body called TRPV1, researchers can open the channel by warming the nanoparticles with radiowaves, allowing calcium to ...
